GEMA:
Innovative Online Classes For Kids
As technology continues to evolve, so does the way we learn. Today, kids can explore their passions and interests through interactive, small-group classes online. GEMA is an education platform that offers just that – a wide range of engaging online classes for kids, taught by experienced and independent educators.
GEMA was founded in 2020 with a mission to provide children with an innovative way to learn. At first, homeschoolers were the primary users of the platform, but it quickly gained popularity among kids in conventional schools as well. The platform became even more critical during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing a vital lifeline for families looking to keep their kids engaged in learning and socializing.
With over 140,000 live online classes offered to more than 1,000,000 learners in 183 countries, GEMA is one of the most significant online learning platforms in the world. The platform’s popularity lies in its variety of classes, which cater to a vast array of interests, ensuring that children remain engaged and excited about learning.
Variety is key when it comes to learning, and GEMA has it in spades. With thousands of choices available, kids can focus on what they love most, develop new skills, and form friendships with like-minded peers. GEMA’s classes are taught live and online, allowing learners and teachers to interact via video chat or text in real-time. As a result, kids form genuine friendships on GEMA, expanding their knowledge while building their skills.
GEMA also takes care of administrative tasks such as enrollments, record-keeping, and other logistical duties, freeing up teachers to focus on what they do best: sharing their knowledge about topics they love. It’s no wonder that teachers love GEMA as much as learners do.
GEMA isn’t just for individual learners; it also offers corporate benefit programs for employees and partners with community organizations of all sizes, public, private, and charter schools.
International Painting Olympics
Where imagination competes… and everyone wins.
A bi-annual international online painting competition for students from Grade 1 to 12, organized by GEMA Education Technology, UAE — proudly nurturing creativity for over 10 years.
A Truly Global Celebration of Art
From tiny hands holding crayons to confident young artists with big ideas — the International Painting Olympics has become a global canvas of creativity.
If creativity needed a passport, this would be the most stamped one in the world.
Why Painting Matters
(And Why We Take It Seriously)
At GEMA, we believe art isn’t just an activity — it’s a language.
Children use it to:
- express ideas they don’t yet have words for
- build confidence without pressure
- think creatively in a world that often demands “right answers”
Here, there’s no wrong color, no “stay inside the lines,” and absolutely no creativity-shaming allowed.
Relax. You’re in Safe (and Professional) Hands.
We may be fun — but behind the scenes, we’re serious professionals.
